This Buick is "a supreme thrill, and a joy, and a blessing." Really? One thing you have to say about these old Buicks. They introduced a design feature that still captivates the simple-minded; the fake ports on the side. I must admit that when I was 12 I looked through the JC Whitney catalog and envisioned all the things I would 'customize' my future car with. From stick-on holes like the Buick's, to fender skirts, spotlights, fake lake pipes, windshield visors, the works!
